Answer: 189.41

Step-by-step explanation: Let’s take the number as n and if nx(100-15)/100=161 then 85n/100=161 and therefore n= 181.4117

I don’t know why the answer is in decimal as mostly it won’t be. Maybe you have made a mistake with the question so pls do check the question too!

Use the functions f(x) = 4x − 5 and g(x) = 3x + 9 to complete the function operations listed below.
vlada-n [284]
A.  (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = 4x - 5 + 3x + 9 = 7x + 4

B. f.g (x)   = f(x) * g(x) = (4x - 5)*(3x + 9) = 12x^2 + 36x -  15x - 45
                =  12x^2 + 21x - 45

C  Replace the x in f(x) by g(x):-
  =  4(3x + 9) - 5
  = 12x + 36 - 5
  = 12x  + 31

I don’t know how to use the triangle area to calculate the area of the inscribed polygons
Trava [24]

First of all, let's recall the area of a triangle, knowing its base (b) and height (h):

A = \cfrac{bh}{2}

The exercise is showing you that, if you inscribe a polynomial with more and more side, the area of the polynomial will approximate the area of the circle better and better (you can see youself that the polygon is "filling" the circle more and more as the number of sides increase).

Now, the second column tells you the area of each of the triangles the polygon is split into. So, we can see that the first polygon is split into 3 triangles, each of them having base 1.73 and height 0.5.

So, the area of each triangle is

A = \cfrac{1.73 \cdot 0.5}{2} = 0.4325

There are three of these triangles, so the area of the whole polygon is

A = 0.4325 \cdot 3 = 1.2975

In the second case, you have six triangles, each with base 1 and height 0.87. So, the whole area is

A = 6 \cdot \cfrac{1\cdot 0.87}{2} = 0.87 \cdot 3 = 2.61

Finally, in the last case you have 8 triangles, each with base 0.77 and height 0.92. So, the whole area is

A = 8 \cdot \cfrac{0.77\cdot 0.92}{2} = 0.77\cdot 0.92 \cdot 4 = 2.8336

Determine whether y varies with x. If so, find the constant of variation and write the function rule.
ira [324]

Answer:  Yes, y does vary directly with x.

Constant of variation = 1/4

The function rule is  y = (1/4)x

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let's assume that y does vary directly with x.

If that's the case, then we have an equation in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.

Solving for k gets us k = y/x

For each row, divide the y value over the x value

  • row one: k = y/x = 14/56 = 0.25
  • row two:  k = y/x = 20/80 = 0.25
  • row three: k = y/x = 22/88 = 0.25

Each row yields the value k = 0.25 and it fully confirms y does vary directly with x.

So y = kx becomes y = 0.25x as the function rule, which is equivalent to y = (1/4)x

In the 2012 Paralympic Games, the total number of gold and silver medals won by Brazil was 35 The ratio of the number of gold me
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

the number of silver medals won by Brazil is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of silver medals won by Brazil is shown below:

Given that

Total number of gold and silver medal wons by Brazil was 35

And, the ratio of number of gold medals to the number of silver medals be 3 : 2

Based on the above information

The number of silver medals won would be

= 35 × 2 ÷ (3 + 2)

= 35 × 2 ÷ 5

= 14

hence, the number of silver medals won by Brazil is 14
